Iranian authorities have restored access to Gmail one week after blocking Google's popular email service in the country.

But reports from Tehran say a government Internet committee is still working on new censorship measures against the Google-owned YouTube video-sharing website.

Iran blocked Gmail last week in response to video clips posted on YouTube of an anti-Islam film that set off deadly protests across the Muslim world.

The Gmail ban sparked complaints from Internet users and officials in Iran.

On October 1, Mohammad Reza Aghamiri, a member of the governmental Internet watchdog committee, told the semiofficial Mehr news agency that authorities had lifted the Gmail ban after resolving technical problems to separate YouTube and Gmail.
